A kit similar to Clara's, is Yunli's.having almost identical top builds, essentially adhering to the same playstyle with few variations. Her whole gear is geared for and Follow-up Counterattacks.The bulk of the damage output from her kit is her Ultimate. When Yunli uses her Ultimate, all of her opponents are taunted until either her ally or adversary takes the following round. She launches the Intuit: Cull counterattack when struck in the Parry state, dealing one Random target,, Blast Physical damage plus six more damage occurrences. rather reminiscent to Argenti's improved Ultimate.She instantly uses her counterattack Intuit: Slash on any random adversary if she is not attacked while in her Parry state. This attack only gives Blast Physical damage. The primary distinction between Clara and Yunli is that Yunli's usual counterattacks deliver blast damage and she has the ability to repair herself with her skill.The perfect Yunli cycle rotations are determined by her ultimate usage. Since Yunli's Counterattacks also provide Energy for her Ultimate, make sure she takes as many hits as you can. Use her Skill to self-heal and keep inflicting blast damage until her Ultimate is charged.

Top Yunli Artifacts in HSR

Ashblazing Grand Duke Relic Set — Screenshot taken in-game

Ashblazing Grand Duke (4-piece)
Wind-Soaring Valorous (4-piece)
Champion of Streetwise Boxing (4-piece)

The finest Relic set for Yunli is the 4-piece Ashblazing Grand Duke, however it's not that great. With each Follow-up attack, this relic set boosts her Attack by 6% (maximum 8 stacks) and improves the damage of her Follow-up attacks, both of which endure for three turns.Conversely, the Yunli may also benefit greatly from 4-piece Wind-Soaring Valorous, which raises her Attack% and Crit Rate. Her Ultimate's damage is further increased by 30% for one turn by this relic set, after a Follow-up attack.The 4-piece Champion of Streetwise Boxing is another respectable choice, but it's the weakest set for her out of the two previously stated sets, and it doesn't fit Yunli's greatest build.

Yunli's Relics and Planar Ornaments: Main and Sub Stats

Regarding the primary Relic and Planar Ornament stats of Yunli, Employ a Criteria Rate Body since activating her Ultimate already gives her a 100% bonus to Crit Damage, , Attack % FeetPhysical Damage % Planar Sphere, and Attack or ERR% Link Rope.Aim for 100% Crit Rate for Sub stats. By maximizing her Crit Rate, Yunli will be able to launch counterattacks that are consistently very destructive. Apart from that, prioritize Attack % and Crit Damage , then either Speed or HP %.

Highest Quality Light Cones for Yunli Construction in HSR

The image is courtesy of Genshin Impact, which Sanmay Chakrabarti edited.For the finest Yunli construct, the Dance at Sunset is the greatest Light Cone. Furthermore, it is her signature light cone. Since Yunli only has her Ultimate for that one attack and no additional Aggro-increasing abilities, this Light Cone significantly raises the wearer's chances of being attacked. After performing their Ultimate, this Light Cone enhances Crit Damage by an extra 36% and Follow-up Attack damage by an additional 36% (maximum of two stacks).On the Fall of an Aeon, in addition to her Signature Light Cone The best Alternative and F2P option for Yunli is at Superimposition 5. The only thing that sets this Light Cone at S5 different from her Signature Light Cone is its inability to increase aggro. As an alternative, Yunli can choose Clara's Signature Light Cone.A Secret Vow, Nowhere to Run, and are the 4-star Light Cone possibilities.All of the choices under the Blue Sky are beneficial for Yunli.

Weathered Blade Does Not Sully (E1): Damage dealt by Intuit: Slash and Intuit: Cult is increased by 20%. Increases the number of additional Damage instances for Intuit: Cull by 3.
First Luster Breaks Dawn (E2): Ignores 20% of enemy Defenses when dealing damage via Counter.
Mastlength Twirls Mountweight (E3): Ultimate Level + 2, up to Level 15 max, Basic Attack Level + 1, up to Level 10 max.
Artisan’s Ironsong (E4): Increases Yunli’s Effect Resistance by 50% for 1 turn after launching Intuit: Slash or Intuit: Cult.
Blade of Old Outlasts All (E5): Skill Level + 2, up to Level 15 max, Talent Level + 2, up to Level 15 max.
Walk in Blade, Talk in Zither (E6): While Parry is active, if an enemy actively uses their abilities, regardless of whether it attacks Yunli or not, it will trigger Intuit: Cull and remove the Parry effect. When dealing DMG via Intuit: Slash or Intuit: Cull, increases CRIT Rate by 15% and Physical RES PEN by 20%.

Yunli's eideolons are not very strong; only her E1 and E2 give her a 20% damage boost apiece. Her E6 is the next major improvement, and Yunli is obviously not worth it. Yunli's distinctive light cone is much more significant than her Eidolons and need to come before her E1.Ultimately, Yunli can overcome the most difficult obstacles in the game on her own without the help of her Eidolons. Yunli's optimal physique is independent of her Eidolons.

Honkai Star Rail's Best Team for Yunli

Order	Main DPS	Support	Support	Sustain
Best	Yunli	Robin	Topaz	Aventurine
Alternative	Yunli	Robin	Sparkle	Fu Xuan
F2P	Yunli	Asta	Tingyun	Lynx

Yunli's Top Teams

Because of her hyper-carry nature, Yunli works best when coupled with supporting characters that can really provide the drama. The greatest squad for Yunli would be composed of Robin, Topaz, , and . Aventurine.Robin is amps' undeniable favorite on the enhancement of Follow-up attack-focused DPS units. Yunli would also gain a lot from the additional physical damage that her Ultimate would do. Another choice for raising the damage of a follow-up assault is topaz. also With his shields, Aventurine can easily keep the squad safe while dealing Follow-up attack damage to himself.In addition, you have the option to utilize Sparkle. and Tingyun as ancillary troops, or nihility units such as Silver Wolf and Pela. Fu Xuan and Lynx are both viable choices for Sustains, as Lynx may raise Aggro on Yunli.

In the Honkai Star Rail, Should You Pull Yunli?

Yunli is a potent hypercarry DPS, and I really like playing counterattack. She is worth pulling, but only if Clara isn't already in your possession. Going for Yunli if you already have Clara is pointless since their kits are almost identical and Yunli is just somewhat superior than Clara (unless you have Clara E6). Nevertheless, Clara has everything she needs to overcome the most difficult tasks in the game, and her damage output is almost identical to Yunli's.However, the choice is still entirely yours. Yunli is a fantastic character with a really enjoyable playstyle. Please feel free to ask any further questions you may have concerning Yunli's finest build in the comments area, and we will do our best to respond.
